74 sections, 13 DXCC

~7.5 hrs the first night,  6 hours the second night. Too many other commitments
to put in a full time effort. Stopped at ~0800Z the first night.  Stopped at
0530Z the second night, then got on again from 1100Z to 1245Z.

Worked everything I heard, with the exceptions noted below. 

Sections not heard: PR, LAX, SB, WY, PAC, AK, NT
Sections heard, but not worked: NL (heard VO1MP in a pileup), SV (called a
station many times, but just couldn't get through.  Many other stations were
calling as well, but very few were getting through.  Maybe he had a lot of
local noise?)

DX worked: PJ2, G, GM, CE, C6, OK, OM, F, VP5, CO, LA, ZF, E7
DX heard, but not worked: EA3 (again, many stations calling but he kept CQing,
with an occasional "?"), CX6.

The "E" in ONE kept getting lost for some of the DX.   I think I must have been
the first "ONE" they worked, as I kept getting "ONS?" or "ONN?”  Either that
or I need a bigger amp / antenna :=)  Now I know how the "NE" guys feel :=)

Thanks for all the QSOs!

73,

Chris
